I'll answer my own question: No, it isn't possible without patching. Looks like a simple global var set by perlscan_scanner() and a check for that var in the IF statement before email_quarantine_report() would get the job done though. I'll have to try that out during my next round of mail server upgrades in a few months. I'm interested in hearing what others think about this idea. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
